The Beast has been "slayed" by a Russian Bear

I did it! Passed the exam today morning with 867. This has been the hardest exam I've taken this year so far. Got 9 sims, 2 of which I had a trouble with. I've been studying every single day so much that I started getting headaches lately. Now the suffering is finally over. Am now MCSA 2k3 titled! 2010 is my IT year.

Not too sure about my next plans but I personally don't think I'll be going for the full MCSE (4 more exams?). As I heard 293 and 294 are even harder. I'll still need to brush up on the material of the certs I already own. Security+ could be my next goal though. A+ certified, N+ certified, and ? certified (<---- S+ should go in there I think). Would love to get it done before the end of this year so that it never expires on me.

Although a job would be nice, where I am now, the IT field isn't very demanding. Barely see any job postings for my area and the competition is pretty high. We'll see what happens next. May start college next year, so yeah.

A separate "Thank You" to the people of this forum for continuous encouragement. Thanks guys!
